I can't help but hide from who I've been
mask my frailty with a smile
I know I shouldn't feel shame for who I am
But it's worth it to see you smile
I am blinded by my weakness
Hiding my pain inside you
I keep using you as my escape
I'm using you, using you
Maybe if I was a little stronger
perhaps if I had listened harder
Maybe if I was a little bit smarter
Perhaps if I was a little bit softer
I just wanted to love you longer
The minutes between our hearts
The hours bleeding through the fabric of time
I will admit it, if you can believe it
I wanted you to be mine
I want those minutes back
So that this time I can get them right
To show you how much I love you
and not give up the fight
I'm sorry I couldn't be stronger
perhaps if I was a little bit braver
I wish it could be easier
Perhaps then I could sleep better
I just wanted to love you longer
mask my frailty with a smile
I know I shouldn't feel shame for who I am
But it's worth it to see you smile
I am blinded by my weakness
Hiding my pain inside you
I keep using you as my escape
I'm using you, using you
Maybe if I was a little stronger
perhaps if I had listened harder
Maybe if I was a little bit smarter
Perhaps if I was a little bit softer
I just wanted to love you longer
The minutes between our hearts
The hours bleeding through the fabric of time
I will admit it, if you can believe it
I wanted you to be mine
I want those minutes back
So that this time I can get them right
To show you how much I love you
and not give up the fight
I'm sorry I couldn't be stronger
perhaps if I was a little bit braver
I wish it could be easier
Perhaps then I could sleep better
I just wanted to love you longer
